"We had a great experience with Loft Hotel and Wilson Palace in Bratislava. We stayed in the Wilson section, and our room was well appointed, clean and comfortable. The breakfast buffet was diverse and of good quality. The entire staff was professional and helpful. Recommend the place and would stay here again."
"Beautiful, historical hotel in the old centre, but away from the crowds, so wonderfully quiet. Breakfast had a plentiful selection. Our room was delightful, and more than we were expecting. The pool in the lower ground was a welcome surprise, good to use after our long days exploring. Very close to multiple restaurants and cafes, and location of the Free Walking Tour. Uber to and from the train station was very cheap."
